I got the hoses on today. What a pain in the ***!!
Moc I did what you said about slitting the hoses at the ends and that was much easier. There isn't much space back there either. I replaced both hoses while I was back there and I didn't forget the restricter either.
The one tube on the heater core had a lot of "play". Is that ok?
I warmed the car up to temp and turned on the heat and didn't notice any leaks inside or outside so I guess I'm ok then.
